On the world gold market, the closing price of gold in New York on the night of January 20 was 2,707 USD/ounce, up 5.8 USD compared to the previous session. The spot price of gold on the Kitco floor on the morning of January 21 (Vietnam time) continued to increase to 2,721 USD/ounce, up 13 USD compared to the closing price in New York.
This price after conversion is equivalent to 83.6 million VND/tael, lower than SJC gold by about 3.4-3.6 million VND/tael and lower than 9999 ring gold by about 3 - 3.55 million VND/tael.
Analysts say President Donald Trump’s term will make the gold market more volatile because some of his policies could lead to higher inflation over a longer period of time. And this will continue to support safe-haven assets like gold.
Goldman Sachs Bank assessed that there is about a 10% chance that gold will be subject to a 10% tax within the next 12 months because gold has the status of a major asset and is likely to be exempt from taxes on a large scale.
Gold Price Forecast
World gold prices are receiving support amid a sharp decline in the USD index. Recorded at 0:30 on January 21, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies, was at 108.250 points (down 0.87%).
As the dollar depreciates, gold becomes more attractive to holders of other currencies. Meanwhile, traders expect gold prices to rise even further in the future.
Therefore, in the trading session last night - when the gold price fell to 2,682 USD/ounce, many people increased their purchasing power. Immediately, the world gold price today increased sharply and by 6:00 on January 21, it reached 2,708 USD/ounce.
Concerns about tariffs and a global trade war have had a significant impact on the precious metals market. Last week, gold prices surged above $2,700 an ounce, while silver prices returned above $30 an ounce, reflecting the urgency in the market.
Some analysts have attributed the rise in gold and silver prices to disruptions in the global supply chain as the precious metals are moved from London to New York. Donald Trump’s tariff threats have created huge volatility in the futures and physical asset swaps market, as banks have moved large amounts of metals to the US to avoid the risk of potential tariffs.
In an interview with Kitco News, Dr. Nomi Prins - geo-economic expert, author of the book "Permanent Distortion: How Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever" - gave an optimistic assessment of the gold trend.
Prins believes that gold prices are likely to rise sharply in 2025, with an expected peak of up to $4,000 an ounce. According to her, demand for gold from central banks around the world is one of the main factors driving the increase.
“Gold is a physical asset and is outside the control of any financial or monetary system established by humans. You cannot print or create it,” she stressed.
As the global economy faces many uncertainties, central banks have increased their gold purchases to protect assets against risks such as inflation and rising public debt.
In addition to its role as a hedge against inflation, gold is also seen as a safe haven during economic and geopolitical turmoil. Prins noted that while global inflation has shown signs of cooling, consumers are still under pressure from rising prices for essential goods such as food, housing and healthcare.
